The Little Big Band, Lady Bird
Billy Cobham, By

All right now, that’s Billy Cobham playing “By ” from his album, “Nordic”. Before that we heard The Little Big Band play “Lady Bird”. The Little Big Band was recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday and featured some fine outstanding Arkansas musicians. Thanks to Craig Baker who arranged “Lady Bird” for The Little Big Band.

Visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com to hear Joe Lee sing his song, “Lazy Gal Blues” recorded with The Little Big Band that night. Joe Lee was using a cane when he walked into the show. His girlfriend, who was blind was holding his other hand. Joe said, “Here we are, the lame leading the blind.”

I’m Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. There’s no music like live music and the next best thing is recordings of live music. I love playing songs from KASU Jazz Thursday, New Jazz In Jonesboro, Blues Fest, and other events in Northeast Arkansas, featuring real music, by real people, that you know.

The best way to support live music is to go out and party with local bands while they play for you. Live music isn’t just better, it’s a totally different experience. We are blessed with an abundance of talent here in Arkansas. Hearing live music is always a way to have a good night out.

Ok now, closing the show here’s Billy Cobham playing “Fjoff”.
